hahaha Until the PSYCH, I was like FINALLY!!! SOMEONE THAT USES IT! :D It seems to be just another platform. The obvious limitations are 1) people that own compatible phones, and 2) people that are willing to pay the subscription fee for the limited amount of shows that they have. That's why I'm thinking the only draw they're going to have is exclusive content, because otherwise, people will just access the internet and watch what they want. Not meaning from Verizon phones, but from computers or whatever.
I'm a fan of the whole mobile concept, but making a mobile walled garden doesn't make a lot of sense to me unless you have content that people are going to buy YOUR service and YOUR compatible phones and YOUR extra subscription services for.
